how to create an Extjs app using sencha cmd

Question

I am new to sencha. I need to work on ExtJS and would like to create an app using sencha cmd. I have tried many things but not getting a clear info to create an app with sencha cmd.

Please help me by treating as a beginner to build an application.

Also after the installation of sencha cmd how can we start this to run sencha commands? When I try any command in normal terminal it shows me ' sencha is not recognized ' in windows PC. Also I've given the sencha cmd path in the environment variable PATH.

Answer 1

After you fix the PATH problem and when sencha works, run

  sencha generate app YourNameSpace /where/you/want/it

Run this command in ext directory - where you unzipped Ext.

For more details see http://extjs.eu/videos

Answer 2

Along with Path variable try to create another variable

SENCHA_CMD_5_0_0 and set the location of your sencha cmd

after doing this sencha cmd path will present in both path and sencha_cmd_5_0_0 variables

Answer 3

Sencha cmd is a Java Application, be sure you have Java SDK or JRE installed, also add the path to Sencha Cmd executable to your PATH environment variable, (My PC properties/Advanced/Environment VAriables), read the install documentation carefully.

Download Sencha SDK GPL or try the commercial version.

You could start generating a basic app or using a predefined template:

$ sencha -sd path/to/ext-6.x generate app APP_NAME path/to/project

A good starting point for more advanced applications is using the package templates, ie the Admin Dashboard:

$ sencha -sd /path/to/ext-6x generate app -s /path/to/ext6.x/templates/admin-dashboard/ APP_NAME /path/to/project

You should run $ sencha package upgrade if required.
